Just a quick update today covering three things related to our campaign to get independents elected this October.
1. INDEPENDENTS DAY TRIVIA NIGHT
We're very excited about our trivia night fundraiser happening this evening at the Old Canberra Inn from 6.30pm! We’ve had a great response so far - it’s going to be a lot of fun. We’re also fortunate to be able to offer some fantastic prizes and silent auction items, including:
- $250 gift vouchers for Old Canberra Inn, Dickson Taphouse and the Steampacket Hotel
- Some beautiful Aboriginal designer scarves & carved items
- A framed Wallabies jersey signed by David Pocock
- A two-night AirBnB stay in Bateman's Bay
- And more!
There are just a few tickets left - now's a great time to snap one up!
2. MERCH STORE
Our online merchandise store is now live, where you can buy an Independents for Canberra T-shirt, hoodie, beanie or corflute! If you are keen to show your support for the movement, please consider picking up a couple of items today (and wearing them absolutely everywhere!). Everything is being sold at cost.
3. CAMPAIGN LAUNCH VIDEO
In case you haven’t seen it yet, we put out a beautifully produced video launching our campaign earlier in the week. We are now less than 100 days away from pre-polling and all our candidates are out and about having as many conversations with people across our community as possible. Momentum is building and we think this video does a good job of communicating what this movement is about.
You can watch the video on our Youtube channel here or on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.
Please consider sharing it around with your networks including directly on socials!
While I've got you, you can also check out yesterday's coverage of our new support candidate recruitment campaign in Canberra Daily here.
Have a great day!
